Huétor Fields, Granada Province, Spain.

A quick visit to the fields between the welcome showers.
Ebird List, 24 Species.

Small White (Pieris rapae).
I parked at the usual spot next to the Lucerne Fields but things were extremely mud as expected so when I walked up stream my height grew quite quickly as the layers of mud built up.
As I walked I found several Small White (Pieris rapae) butterflies on the wing which surprised me as the weather wasn't too good, there were also a couple of smaller white's but they didn't land and I didn't managed to Identify them.
Mediterranean stork's bill (Erodium malacoides).
I also recorded Mallard (Anade Azulón / Anas platyrhynchos), Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Iberian  Magpie (Rabilargo / Cyanopica cooki), Crested Lark (Cogujada / Galerida cristata), Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), Goldfinch (Jilguero / Carduelis carduelis), Serin (Verdecillo / Serinus serinus), Blackcap (Curruca Capirotada / Sylvia atricailla), Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Sardinian Warbler (Curruca Cabecinegra / Sylvia melanocephala), Spotless Starling (Estornino Negro / Sturnus unicolor), Black Redstart (Colirrojo Tizón / Phoenicurus ochruros), White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba), Corn Bunting (Triguero / Emberiza calandra) as well as Mediterranean Stork's-bill (Erodium malacoides) and Common Stork's-bill (Erodium cicutarium), Field Marigold (Calendula arvensis) and Diplotaxis erucoides.

I reached the pool and then turned around and went back passed the car and carried on around the Lucerne fields to the Walnut trees, on the way I saw Common Magpie (Urraca / Pica pica), Skylark (Alondra Común / Alauda arvensis), Tree Sparrow (Gorrión Molinero / Passer montanus), Grey Wagtail (Lavandera Cascadena / Motacilla cinerea) and Meadow Pipit (Bisbita Pratense / Anthus pratensis).
